“So, tell me, love,” starts Louis. “What have you planned for us?”

Sara shrugs and glances at Lucas. “We haven’t actually planned anything as of now; we only found out yesterday.”

Louis nods slowly. Zayn speaks up, “but what else were you told?”

“Why you needed us, but that’s about it.” Answers Sara.

“So, what you’re expecting, is us doing an introduction of sorts,” says Harry slowly. Lucas nods. “That be okay,” he answers.

“How’d you expect us to do this?” asks Niall, obviously referring to the introduction.

Sara looks at Lucas, “ask him.”

She’s had her fair share of fidgeting in the past ten minutes that the boys have been carrying out their introduction. She’s also done her best to not scream I knew that! At least twenty times. When Liam finishes his introduction with an ‘I was brought up in Wolverhampton,’ she lets out a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t go unnoticed. “What was that for?” asks Harry, amused. She freezes. “Uhm-“ come on, come on, something, “uhm, I’m.. hungry. Yeah, I’m hungry.”

“Okay, then, let’s get something to eat,” smiles Harry. He finds her cute. What he has noticed about her is that she’s been fidgeting the entire time the boys were talking. Maybe she’s a closet fan? Harry doesn’t know. She srunches­ her nose up. “Uhm, maybe later.” He smiles, his eyes trained on her. She looks down awkwardly at her lap, pushing behind a loose lock of golden brown hair behind her ear.

“Okay,” starts Lucas. Hesitantly, Harry turns back to him. “You need us to complete your current concert and finish your third album, right?”

“Yep,” says Niall, elongating the y. Lucas nods and writes it down in his notebook. Harry notices that Sara doesn’t have one; instead, she’s paying close attention to everything they say. “Do you have a copy of your unfinished songs with you right now?” asks Lucas, looking at Louis inquisitively.

“No, we don’t.” Answers Liam instead. “Then what about the songs you sing in your current concert?”

“From Take Me Home? No, we haven’t brought along any of our songs with us,” says Louis, looking confused.

“Dang it. I haven’t listened to any of your songs,” says Lucas with a frown.

“I have,” speaks up Sara, “they’re pretty easy to replicate. It’s all first level treble and bass, no room size and 3D clarity either.”

“English?” asks Zayn, confused. Sara smiles.

“Sorry about that.”

“Then when do we listen to your songs?” asks Lucas. “I need to hear them at least once. Dunno about you, May.”

“May?” asks Niall, confused.

“That’s me,” says Sara, raising her hand up. “Middle name.”

“Oh. Alright.”

“I think we need to regroup soon,” speaks up Liam. “Maybe we could bring our songs with us the next time and we could hear them?”

Sara pulls out her phone and stares at it for a while. “Sorry, Liam, our audio booth’s booked for the next three weeks. Do you have a home recording system?”

Liam nods, “that we do.”

“Then we’ll meet up at your place.”
